Finally set-up my desk at the @munity.games workshop~ It'll change as the rest of the workshop gets organized, but it really is motivating to be in this space. I'm gonna be unstoppable y'all.

literally had this conversation with @ludodraconisvt.bsky.social while working out feedback we got on Shootlanzer's how to play screen. In order, her interpretation of the feedback, my plan for how to animate it, her final suggestion, & the current WIP (see next post for animated GIF). (1/2)

A quick MS Paint sketch with three arcade buttons laid out: shoot and bomb up top, and dodge on the bottom left. a-two-headed arrow is drawn above Shoot and Bomb to connect them with the word "Ult" above it.

A quick MS Paint sketch in 4 panels with arcade buttons laid out: shoot and bomb up top, and dodge on the bottom left. The sketch describes a process where each button is animated getting pressed down for 3 seconds each, then the last animation is the shoot and bomb buttons being pressed together for 3 seconds before looping back to the first.

A 4-panel MS paint sketch with three arcade buttons laid out in each panel: shoot and bomb up top, and dodge on the bottom left. The panels are labeled, from left to right, "Shoot", "Dodge", "Bomb", "Ult". The suggestion of the sketch is to animate each of the buttons separately in each panel.

A 4-panel display in the game Shootlanzer, with three arcade buttons laid out in each panel: shoot and bomb up top, and dodge on the bottom left. The panels are labeled, from left to right, "Shoot", "Dodge", "Bomb", "Ult". Each panel has an image of Leona, Shootlanzer's main character, doing the corresponding action, except for Ultimate, where the text simply says "Trade powerups for ultimate power".
